"Fiction My photographs are like the first sentence of a short story?only the ending can never be certain. I pair images together to enhance the stories I sense in the emotional landscape around me. I fracture the story into diptychs and triptychs until the line where the images meet becomes the seam between reality and longing, fact and fiction, the universal and the personal. Seen as a whole, this work reads like a sprawling semi-autobiographical novel. Each image encapsulates the tension between what I am and what I wish to be. -Laura Noel"
